At XBOSoft, customer satisfaction isn’t just a buzzword—it’s our top internal priority. For over a decade, our software testing services have helped companies refine their digital products, ensuring quality and reliability with every release. Today, we’re excited to share the story of our enduring partnership with Benbria—a leading software provider in the restaurant and hospitality industries based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. You can learn more about Benbria on their website.

In our journey of over 10 years in software testing, we’ve cultivated long-term relationships by seeking honest, no-holds-barred feedback from our customers. While positive feedback feels great, it’s the constructive criticism that truly drives us to improve. Recently, we asked Daryna Bronnykova, Benbria’s Director of Engineering, to share her thoughts on working with XBOSoft. Her insights not only highlight our commitment to quality but also demonstrate how our agile, scalable testing services have played a crucial role in her company’s success.

The Genesis of a Successful Partnership

How It All Began

Daryna recalls that Benbria and XBOSoft first started collaborating back in March 2010. At the time, as a young start-up with a limited budget, Benbria didn’t have an extensive suite of automated tests. Their co-founder, Mason Du, was introduced to XBOSoft by a friend, and from that moment, a partnership was born. XBOSoft stepped in to help Benbria establish a robust QA process and implement functional testing across various product components. This early engagement laid the foundation for what has now become a long-standing relationship.

Daryna Bronnykova:
“We started working with XBOSoft in March of 2010 and have been working together ever since. Our initial need was to establish a solid QA process as we didn’t have many automated tests in place and were operating on a tight budget.”

Seamless Integration and Communication

One of the key aspects that Daryna highlights is how well our teams work together—even across different geographic locations. Benbria follows a biweekly product release cycle, and during each cycle, our teams collaborate closely. Daryna works directly with our QA Team Lead, Jack Wang, to provide release notes and outline critical areas for regression testing. Through a shared GitHub repository, both teams track and address issues in real time. Despite being miles apart, we function as a single, cohesive unit dedicated to ensuring quality.

Daryna Bronnykova:
“We work very closely during regression testing. Even though our teams are geographically separate, we essentially operate as one unit. Jack prepares new test cases and manages his team efficiently, ensuring our release candidates are thoroughly vetted.”

This level of seamless integration is essential for maintaining the high standards that our customers expect. It’s a testament to the robust processes and agile methodologies that XBOSoft employs.

Scaling with your business needs

Adapting to Growth

As Benbria’s business grew, so did their testing needs. One of the standout benefits of our service is our ability to scale quickly and efficiently. When Benbria faced tight deadlines and increased demand, XBOSoft was there to provide additional resources on short notice. This flexibility ensured that Benbria could continue to meet their release schedules without compromising on quality.

Daryna Bronnykova:
“One of the great things about XBOSoft is that our QA team scales with our needs. They’ve seamlessly added resources during crunch times, helping us meet tight deadlines.”

Our agile testing approach allows us to support rapid growth and changing demands—a crucial advantage in today’s fast-paced digital landscape.

Continuity and Consistency

Another significant benefit of our long-term partnership is continuity. In the six years of our collaboration, Benbria has only had one change in their QA Team Lead from XBOSoft. This consistency has allowed us to build a deep understanding of their product, its evolution, and the unique challenges they face. Jack’s comprehensive knowledge of past revisions and design changes means that testing is not only reliable but also faster—there’s no need for extensive retraining every time someone new comes on board.

Daryna Bronnykova:
“The continuity of our QA leadership with XBOSoft has saved us precious time on training and ensured that our testing is both reliable and fast. Jack’s sense of ownership and meticulous approach have been invaluable.”

The Value Proposition: Quality, Reliability, and Flexibility

Delivering on Promises

At XBOSoft, our commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of our service. Daryna emphasizes that our work together has enabled Benbria to release product updates on tight schedules, which has in turn helped them recognize revenue faster and maintain a competitive edge. Our focus on reliable, high-quality testing means that our customers can trust us to deliver results, even under the pressure of demanding deadlines.

Daryna Bronnykova:
“Jack and his team have been instrumental in helping us meet our tight release schedules, which has directly contributed to our growth and profitability.”

The Human Touch

While technology and automation are at the core of what we do, the human element remains irreplaceable. Our team’s expertise, responsiveness, and flexibility ensure that we provide more than just a technical service—we offer a partnership. Daryna’s recommendation of XBOSoft highlights not only our technical capabilities but also our ability to build lasting, trust-based relationships with our clients.
